PERSONAL VEGETABLES.
Asparagus, rhubarb and horseradish are
the principal representatives of this class
Asparagus, when once planted properly
will last almost forever. The principal
condition for success with this plant is
to give it plenty of room; g distance OF
four feet each way is found best for felo
culture. In the garden we prefer single
row, with plants two feet apart, to plant
ing in beds. Rhubarb will also yield {
crop for many years, but in most cases
it is better to take up the plants anG
make a new bed or row every six or eigh
year. To have large, crisp stalks, cover
each clump with tive or three forkfuls OF
stable manure after the ground freezes
in the fall. Horseradish in the family
garden is generally left to take care OF
itself, but if tirst-class roots are desired
il should be IL eate6 like an annual anl
re-planted every spring.
